Karl over at the Village Hemorrhoid emailed me saying his blog was taken down and no warning or a contact to figure out was what upsetting the TOS, figure it is Blogger and they are the worse at just shitting on conservative blogs. He is trying to get it back up.

He will be missed, a consummate actor and person.

Did Chase Just Go Down?

Vox Popoli, https://www.voxday.net./

This has been floating around. I saw it on Hal Turner’s site, which isn’t particularly reliable, but the specifics mentioned tend to indicate that this one might be.

Reports have been coming in CLAIMING “a systemically important bank, a major player in Silver Futures, failed to pay its Margin Call by 2:00 AM and was liquidated by the futures Exchange at 2:47 AM eastern US time.”

The reports are CONCEALING the name of the bank, but it is confirmed that overnight, the federal reserve was forced to pump another $34 Billion into the Banking System through its Emergency Overnight Repo facility. This $34 Billion is on top of the $17 Billion which had to be pumped-in two days ago, on Friday morning.

The Bank involved is described as “one of the largest players in the precious metals derivatives market” blew past every risk limit, breached every covenant. and exhausted every line of credit.”

The Bank is further described as having been “massively short silver; we are talking massive positions numbering in the hundreds-of-millions ounces.”

According to the information coming out this morning, when Silver broke through $70 per ounce on Friday, this bank received a “Margin Call” from the Commodities Exchange(s) which “exceeded their liquid capital.” I am further told that “the clearinghouse gave them until Sunday morning to post $2.3 BILLION in additional cash collateral.”

UPDATE 12:48 PM EST —

According to additional information, at 2:47 AM the Bank notified the Exchange that they could NOT meet the $2.3 Billion margin call. At 3:03 AM, the Exchange began forced liquidation of the Contracts. By 4:15 AM, the Banks positions on the Exchange were fully closed. SIXTEEN MINUTES LATER FEDERAL REGULATORS SEIZED THE BANK TO PREVENT A DISORDERLY UNWIND.

The reason Turner suspects the failed bank might be Chase is because he was blocked from his business account there last night.

Tonight, I logged-in to my bank and tried to send a Wire Transfer.  I’ve done this a couple times in the past and everything went fine.  Tonight, I get a call from their FRAUD Department . . . things went downhill fast…

I’ve sent wire transfers before, and for amounts much higher than tonight. . . . . Like seven times higher than tonight. Never a problem. Tonight, they say I am not me and I’m cut off.

I wonder if the bank that reportedly got SEIZED by federal regulators at around 4:30 this morning because they couldn’t make Margin Calls on Silver Shorts, maybe, might be, JP Morgan CHASE ? ? ? ? ? ? ? (Story HERE) Is it possible they won’t send the wire transfer because they’re broke?

Maybe I am not the only one being cut off from my Business account?

It’s all just rumors at this point, and I have no wish to scaremonger for clicks or anything, but we all know how fragile the system is right now. And it wouldn’t even be remotely surprising if one of the banks that was holding a short position against silver went down about now.

Delusions v Reality, from Johno, down under, A clear case of Aussie TDS.

By Dee McLachlan, April 9, 2025

Read on blog or ReaderGumshoe News Delusions v Reality By  Dee McLachlan on April 9, 2025by Dee McLachlan Global Delusions A Facebook post popped into my feed the other day. This an extract (posted 3 April):”…he [Trump] knows that if America is left as a functional democracy, that will inevitably be his eventual fate. He will be destroyed if he ever loses the presidency. So then, in Trump’s mind, fuck America – with his intention to survive no matter what, he’s deliberately tanking the economy, along with everything else, to burn it all down. “I just couldn’t resist responding: “Totally misguided analysis… Over the last few decades almost all manufacturing (wealth generation) was stripped from the US. The US citizens are the unhealthiest in the world. They spend 3x more on education and have the lowest standards. It was bankrupt in 1973, and the US is/was a basket case. Their IP and industries sent to China. JFK was trying to create a balanced stable (peaceful) world but was murdered (in 1963) and this allowed the obscene war machine (the military industrial complex) to profit off the US taxpayer for decades and decimate countries across the globe. After Biden’s term the US was about to be flushed down the toilet as a FAILED REPUBLIC. But about 80 million voters wanted the country they once knew back again. Their ONLY option was to vote for Trump — the only person resilience enough to survive the onslaught (lawfare and assassinations) from the global elite/cabal that have always wanted an UNELECTED (non-democratic) one-world government. The plan to destroy and erode America (and bleed the taxpayers) has been around for a long time. Nearly 80 million voted in Trump hoping he’ll reverse the trend… (e.g., RFK Jr to make them healthy again, and tariffs to bring back manufacturing and resource independence). …If the people don’t like what he’s doing, they will send him packing in 2028. You know democracy is working when the most media-hated man on the planet can become president. “My comment was not well received. I don’t profess to know where the Trump presidency might lead us, but I believe I had a sense of where the Biden/Harris plan was leading. Sandra posted an interesting Catherine Austin Fitts video yesterday (here), about “whiteout” and the “control grid”. And we have no idea of how society will adjust after the AI tsunami floods into our lives. But by 2025 I had hoped that many friends, family and strangers I bump into might be more open to the worldly reality I see unfolding. However, it seems a huge section of the population is still trapped in a mind matrix — watching the shadows on the “cave wall” (e.g., Plato’s ‘Allegory of the Cave’). The hate for Trump is so intensely hyperbolic and it seems human perception has been captured by the regurgitating mainstream media indoctrination — with those MSM personalities in turn being hostages of their own propaganda.(Am I just watching shadows in another cave?)This general “delusion” was clearly demonstrated by Dem Insiders and MSM hosts claiming Biden was “sharp as a tack” when anyone with an open mind could see the cognitive decline over, at least, his last 3 years. Given the label of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS), the Dems and orange-man-haters across the globe are preventing humanity moving to a form of logical normalcy. How can society recalibrate when Trump haters would prefer, it seems, society to implode out of spite rather than let Trump improve the lot of US citizens. And our leaders are not immune.
